Florida requires all parties in divorce cases with minor children and paternity actions involving parental responsibility to complete the Parent Education and Family Stabilization Class under FL Stat. § 61.21. Petitioners must complete the class within 45 days of filing, while other parties have 45 days from service or paternity determination. Proof of completion must be filed before the final judgment.
Our 4-hour online class covers all eight mandatory components required by Florida Administrative Code Rule 65C-32.003, including divorce as loss, shared parenting, child development, communication strategies, domestic violence awareness, and Florida family law. The class is self-paced and available 24/7, ending with a brief review that requires 70% to pass with unlimited retakes at no extra charge.
Both parents must complete the class separately unless ordered otherwise by the court. Florida statute explicitly authorizes online completion, and our DCF-approved class is accepted statewide. You'll receive an instant certificate with QR verification upon completion.
Florida's statute uses mandatory language requiring completion before final judgment, with narrow good cause exceptions available only through court order. The Department of Children and Families maintains strict approval standards for all providers under Chapter 65C-32 of the Florida Administrative Code.
